Kurtág is 90.

The eminent Hungarian composer György Kurtág turns 90 today, and -- it's reported by his publisher, Editio Musica Budapest -- remains hard at work on a magnum opus, the Beckett-based opera Fin de partie. In wishing him robust health, I offer in tribute a small handful of useful links, including an outstanding Jeremy Eichler profile that I'm having permanently extracted from behind the Globe paywall in Kurtág's honor.
